Hi,
I installed service pack 2 and now my computer is having all kinds of problems, of course the money mongers at microsoft tell me to ask HP, and the people at HP are complete *****s lately.
I spent hours trying to explain the problem to them and the best they could do was "oh just reinstall your graphics card, that will fix it" .... yea .... if you say so... (I tried that many times before even calling them)
Ok so the problem is.... I have a video card installed on my computer, my mobo has intel 82845 integrated graphics. I uninstalled the software for the integrated graphics, and uninstalled it in the device manager. I switched my display adapter to my PCI card instead of the onboard system in BIOS. I installed my video card and everything was working fine until I had to restart back a few weeks ago after I got SP2.
Basically on start up, windows starts normally and does not mention anything about finding new hardware.
However then once windows is running a little icon (which is the same as the update driver icon in the device manager) pops up in the system tray and says that windows has found a new display adapter, you cant click on anything or stop it in anyway. It just automatically detects and installs it. (its kind of the same as if you pluged in a plug and play USB keychain)
The beautiful thing about it is, that once you uninstall it from device manager you have to restart... and then on restart it gets automatically reinstalled.... and then you have to uninstall and restart... and well you can just keep going forever and ever until you start smashing things....
So my question is how can this be fixed? I can find no setting to disable automatic hardware detection (which i vaugely remember being able to do before SP2) and I cant get the damn integrated graphics to stay dead.
Even with the integrated graphics disabled but not uninstalled the drivers are still loaded and conflict with my video card like crazy. I used to be able to play farcry on high, now I cant even get battlefield 1942 to run higher than 3 fps. Even if it is disabled it will just get re-enabled on restart.
What would the BIOS "plug and play operating system" do?
I would really appreciate if anyone could help.
